Wow. That is the last thing I expected. I'm just amazed. I thought maybe, just maybe I'd manage a top 15 or top 40 at some point this quarter. But 2nd place EC???

I think I must have (inadvertantly) almost killed Deb.... She and I were exchanging e-mails all week for word count, and I had NO CLUE at all. None. It must have been killing her. I'll bet she was giggling every time she read an e-mail from me. You're a little stinker, Deb.

Deb, I am amazed at your ability to keep my EC placement as a TOTAL surprise from me, considering the number of e-mails we exchanged this past week. I mean, not even a hint to check the rankings or anything.
